king of cochin Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 CS56AR is priced at CRs 157 per unit when sold in retail. The order of 5 weapons would amount to CRs. 785. Quote
Aggressivenutmeg Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 The funds have been sent to both parties. Trials of these weapon systems will begin in the next few days. Quote
Aggressivenutmeg Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) The trials have concluded. It has been decided that, although both rifles performed well and the gyrojet AR-15 was prefered by the men, The Ministry of Defence cannot afford the cost of gyrojet ammunition. So all current M15A2 rifles are being upgraded to the M15A3, featuring a re-chamber to 6.8x45mm SPC and a rail interface system for attaching sights and grenade launchers.

Sgt Shidner Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 If its not too late...Soldania Modern Arms would like to present its candidate for your approval, the AR-51 Assault Rifle. [img]http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/ss42/Sgt_Shidner/myweapon1-1.jpg[/img] Tailored to your specifications, it weighs 3.5 kg (unloaded) 4.0 kg (loaded). This tad extra weight only comes from it packing a 30 round magazine of 6.8mm Remmington SPC rounds, as per your request. We've tweaked the gas dispersion unit and firing chamber to up its muzzle velocity to around (on average) 945 m/s. It is also extremely customizable to just about any role it is needed for, as you can see. We hope this weapon meets your needs. Quote

TheShammySocialist Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 [IMG]http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa325/VictorDeltaRomeo/xm8_2.jpg[/IMG] The Kabul State Armory presents the TR8G Modular Weapon Family for the peruse of the AVF, these weapons feature a modular design, allowing for four unique types of small arms. This includes an assault carbine/grenade launcher version, an SMG version, a Designated Marksmen version, and a light machinegun version. They chamber a 5.56mm Round, and their modular design allows for easier maintenance and interchangeability of parts. The KSA-designed "AWAH" (All-Weather, All Hour) ACOG site allows for an round-the-clock, all-weather sight that provides the user with night and thermal sights. This weapon has outperformed AR-15 models with less stoppages in all environment tests, and provides the user with one of the newest designs on the market. Quote
Generalissimo Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Australian Volunteer Forces testing of the Procinctia Armament Gyrojet AR-15 revealed the following [b]Procinctia Armament Gyrojet AR-15 advantages[/b] Nearly recoilless because of self-propelled ammunition No visible muzzle flashes because of self-propelled ammunition Can fire under water because of self-propelled ammunition Can operate in a vacuum because of self-propelled ammunition A properly calibrated Gyrojet rocket is more accurate than equivalent conventional bullet A properly calibrated Gyrojet rocket produces a soft hissing noise silent compared to equivalent bullet [b]Procinctia Armament Gyrojet AR-15 disadvantages[/b] Prohibitively expensive ammunition Completely useless at ranges less than one foot because of self-propelled ammunition Less effective at ranges three feet and less because of self-propelled ammunition Unconventional nature is difficult to learn and accuracy is limited to the untrained A malfunctioning Gyrojet rocket is less accurate than equivalent conventional bullet A malfunctioning Gyrojet rocket is louder than an equivalent bullet producing continuous small sonic booms. Malfunctioning Gyrojet Rockets can be seen visibly at night like tracer rounds [quote name='Chernarussia' timestamp='1299484260' post='2655237']The trials have concluded.
